Ordinarily, when posting a picture of the sky, I would be tempted to show an image of a bright blue, puffy-white-cloud-filled sky or a beautiful sunset filled with oranges and yellows. But today, I chose an image of the sky above our cabin in the Uintah Mountains of Utah. The sky was a beautiful blue, but I chose to process it in subdued black, gray and cream tones. So fitting for this time of year, I think. These branches will be weighed down with heavy white snow before long, and the sky will be a darker stormy gray for sure. But until then, I will enjoy the clear days like this, when the sky seems to go on forever.

My favorite kind of skies, those clear blue ones that extend out forever! they make even the coldest days bearable. I love the process on this photo, I think you captured the essence of a winters day quite nicely!

Well at least we can HOPE that they will be covered in white snow soon....
I love what you've done with this photo! And I like the perspective!
I really like how your coloring makes the birch bark stand out. It's a wonderful photo, and the Uintah Mountains are a beautiful place to live.
I think the processing adds a dramatic feel to this shot. I really love it!
I like the angle you chose and the texture of the branches.
excellent decision to go with the black and white. very striking.
